I want to do complex things with gimp because I know it is possible. ;) But on the first step I am falling. I am not able to drawing a filled rectangle with a filled border. How can I do this? -- publictimestamp.org/ptb/PTB-5237 sha384 2009-01-19 15:00:05 3AF0CFD8D66196C16E4FDB93B58A80186E1D3444CBA43CB0E5358562894D67FDABC43F ED045843B3C56611DA729703DF

If I'm understanding you correctly - try using the rectangle select tool to make the selection, then select "Border" from the Select menu. You'll get a dialog where you can specify the size and some options for your border. Once you've made your selection, you can use the bucket-fill tool to fill in the border [make sure you have "Fill whole selection" selected in the Bucket Fill's tool box. After creating your border, you can select everything inside it to fill with a different color. Not that I think it through, it might be faster and easier to first fill in the whole selection and then use the Select->Border menu to create the border around the selection. Since I'm just learning myself and never do anything the right way, I'm sure there may be an easier way to do this.

The "border" selection has two drawbacks here: - it has round corners (ok, this may also be what is wanted, but then growing the rectangular selection will do the same) - the border straddles the initial limits. It merely make a copy of the selection and grows it by the requested amount, shrink the initial selection by the selected amount, and substract that from the grown one. This make the computation a bit more complicated: To draw a 100x100 square with a 20 pixels wide black border, you have to create a 110x110 selection, and then make a 10-pixels border selection. -- Bertrand
